Recalled to life

or at least to London. I'm back, have been for some days, and I guess that makes these the best of times.

Am doing a research project for the UN Population Fund, on youth policy (sound familiar?). On the tube yesterday:

Chris writes in diary: Deadline, Romania and Poland
Dave: How very ambitious...

Yours, in European domination,

He was the best of mimes, he was the worst of mimes.

I think every major literary quote in the last thousand years is funny if you sub in "mime" somewhere in there. Shakespeare especially. "Slings and arrows of outrageous mimes" . . . "Oh brave new world that hath such wond'rous mimes in it." . . . "Out, damn mime." . . . "My kingdom for a mime."

Browning is also good. "A mime is a mime, however small." . . . "God is the perfect mime."

I'm done. Sorry.

That question is the intellectual equivalent of "Are you calling me fat?"

You might have stuck up My kingdom for a doughnut, so I thought I'd be pre-emptive

Subbing in "doughnut" is also funny. "The doughnut is come full circle."
